+2For a linked field, is there a way to limit record selection to a view based on the user?
The only way I've been able to figure it out is to create multiple linked Task fields in the Time table. Not ideal.
Thanks, David

Hi David,
While you can't set permissions at the record level, a good work around is to create a form for each user to enter time for their tasks.
You can limit the "user" field on the form to show only specific collaborators (you can choose, for example, Anne to be the only choice in the user field on Anne's form). Then, you can limit your record selection in your "tasks" field on the form to a view (Anne's tasks) or when conditions are met (User is Anne).
You can share each user's form with that user via a link.
If you want to talk about this further or if you ever need additional help, please schedule some time with me. Here's my Calendly link: https://calendly.com/d/2d8-zcj-qyw/30-minute-meeting

+19You should be able to do this in an interface. You would need to set the records to ony the viewer’s records and then they would only see their tasks.

+13Hey there, what you're trying to achieve here should be very much doable with our miniExtensions Form's dynamic filtering capabilites. You could set this up so the filter field is the user (prefilled via the URL), which would then only show records related to that user. You can try this out with a free account now! 🙂
